Is it more proper for a man's wife to wash him, or for men to do so?
It is permissible for a woman to wash her husband's body if she is knowledgeable in how to do so. Indeed, Ali washed Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with them both, and Asma bint Umays washed her husband Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him.
